Tomosynthesis-guided core biopsy of the breast: Why and how to use it

Kyungmin Shin, Davis Teichgraeber, Sarah Martaindale, Gary J WhitmanJournal of Clinical Imaging Science 2018 8(1):28-28 Digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT) has become an important tool in breast imaging. It decreases the call-back rate while increasing the cancer detection rate on screening mammography and is useful for diagnostic examination of noncalcified lesions and for the evaluation of patients presenting with clinical symptoms. Management challenges and dilemmas that are encountered with abnormalities detected on DBT and lacking a sonographic correlate can now be addressed with tomosynthesis-guided core biopsy.
